Zerafet Tenwolde-Cansizoglu

I’m an entrepreneur working at the forefront of advanced 3D printing, with a strong focus on technical ceramics and high-precision manufacturing.

What drives me is solving complex engineering challenges—especially where conventional manufacturing reaches its limits. I specialize in translating difficult design requirements into manufacturable solutions using additive manufacturing, particularly for applications that require extreme precision, complex geometries, or performance in harsh environments.

Over the past years, I’ve been building expertise in micro-scale 3D printing and advanced materials, combining hands-on engineering with a strong interest in digital workflows and scalable production. I’m not just focused on prototyping, but on creating a pathway toward reliable, repeatable manufacturing.

In the context of the defence sector, I’m particularly interested in applications where material performance, weight reduction, thermal resistance, and functional integration are critical. I see strong opportunities in areas like high-temperature components, fluid systems, filtration, and functional structures.
